"Vocaroo is a quick and easy way to share voice messages over the interwebs." Use a headset or internal microphone to record directly on the site, and then embed, share, or download the audio file. Might use this on our KidBlogs to have students share orally.

A great way to get data out of our calendar into a spreadsheet. Used it this year to pull my calendar out and find all of the tax deductible mileage.

This author laments on the issues of trying to use email collaboratively wit all of the quirks in applications and OS platforms.

I have not used livecode.com myself, but this video goes over the simplistic nature of the programming language and how well it works for student learning of programming concepts. Check out the impressive portfolio of real apps online out on the web. It might be great for development of church or school apps too.

Beware of public USB charging stations!

Great place to start if you've heard about and are curious about using badges in your classroom. Thinking of going that way to try it out.

This little box comes highly recommended as a unit to power a digital display using Risevision server software. Looks promising...

Very creative use of QR codes and excellent steps for doing this "right".

Great idea and great explanation of how to do it! I'm thinking this would be useful in museums, but why not in everyday places?

Sallie, WELSTech Trainer, share the link to the article for PrintMyCal. Here's the link to the developer blog site and the download.

"Do you or your church, school or other organization use Google Calendars?  Are you looking for a printing solution for your Google Calendar?

Print My Cal is a Java-based executable program which allows users to add one or more Google Calendars, select a desired month and receive an editable, print-ready version of the calendar(s) in RTF format."

a great break down of do's and don'ts for using Facebook from a church perspective

@GoogleForWork tweeted this article about using fingerprint readers and phones to eliminate passwords on the web. This seems very plausible that we could see this become mainstream quickly, if Google were to acknowledge it by adoption. Especially would gain traction if Apple were to also return to the consortium mentioned.

I use this little trick to keep my Drive, SkyDrive, and Dropbox in sync with each other.  Works wonderfully.

This new camera was released this summer. An all in one camera that does streaming (from what I can tell it would likely work with FinalWeb Streaming) and can be controlled all with the web interface. It also has the more tranditional pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) interface as well, if you already ahve that. Wire audio from a microphone or your sound system to it, connect it to your broadband and you would be up and going. Or, use the SDI video connection to go something something like Wirecast on your computer for more control. Refer to my presentation from WelsTechConf on video streaming, this new camera is one I am now reviewing to replace our first camera we installed this last year. We may shift then the camera that is our "primary front and center" off to the side more for the "B" roll view.

I am not sure what to say.... Pastor may already be doing this from the pulpit. Ushers may be doing it for your church. But when a computer is recording this information does that make it wrong?

If you are streaming in an HD format using the FinalWeb streaming service this is a page on how to update the player to be an HD player. There is also some other bonuses with the customer player including automatic start and a custom message when you are not broadcasting. This will be covered at the 2015 WelsTech conference in my Streaming Without a Canoe (Intermediate) session, sneak peak here.
